 Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2007 6:52 am Post subject: Ultrastar Wing folding |
 |
|
Now that I have my US home and am getting her ready to fly again, I did some reading and it was written somewhere that the newer US fold the wings back from the rear spar attach point???
It said that this was done to that the wing did not sit so high and would fit in the garage.
I just cant see how this would work unless the wing leading edge was down on the floor side?
Can anyone enlighten me on the correct info...it just seems wrong.

On my US, I welded a tube cross member to the airframe just about a
foot or so down from the current front spar attach point.. It was
designed to protrude the same as the front spar carry through.. The tube
dia was such that the square wing fold hinge fitting would slide on and
then could be held with a pin of the same type that holds the wheels to
the axle.. bolt, pin etc.. This dropped the wing enough to fit into my
garage.. Herb
